Ave Maria - Jeanette MacDonald

Ave Maria, Ave Maria

Ave Maria, Ave Maria

Ave, Maria, Ave, Maria

those who suffer call out to you

your arms embrace them all

for you have suffered, too

like any other

the Holy Mother.

Ave, Maria, Ave, Maria

They are children, lost in their fears

You, who once lost a child

You wash them with your tears

You purify them

You beautify them.

Ave, Maria, Ave, Maria

All who doubt you, stray in the night

Maria

So take them by the hand

and lead them to the light.

Ave Maria, Ave Maria

Ave Maria, Ave Maria

Ave Maria, Ave Maria

Ave Maria, Ave Maria

Amen.
